Anaphora Processing: Linguistic, Cognitive and Computational Modelling (1st Edition) by Antonio Branco, Anthony Mark McEnery, and Ruslan Mitkov is a comprehensive volume that explores the multifaceted phenomenon of anaphora—how language refers back to previously mentioned elements. This book brings together insights from linguistics, cognitive science, and computational modeling, offering a unified perspective on how humans and machines handle anaphoric references (e.g., pronouns like “he,” “she,” “it”).
It covers theoretical approaches to anaphora, the cognitive mechanisms involved in its resolution, and the development of anaphora resolution systems in natural language processing (NLP). Aimed at researchers and advanced students, the book serves as both a foundational introduction and an in-depth technical resource in the fields of computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, and artificial intelligence.
